Valentine's Day

[twotrue]

Tell me all the spectacular things you have planned for Valentine's day so that I can steal your ideas as my own

Bonus points for telling me what your kid(s) will be doing for your DH/DW/SO.

[twomoms2twins]

yeah me too .. No idea what to get DW and the girls are 18 mo they have no clue but I feel compelled to do get something ! UGG

[hensmum]

No clue! DW and I don't usually do real gifts (just a candy and card), but she went and got me tickets for us to see Janeanr Garofalo in Boston in March! She couldn't keep the secret So now I have to get her a real gift! not complaining at all - just surprised!

From Henry, i will prob just help him make a valentine for her with stickers.

I don't know. She's always wanting to have her car detailed, but that seems boring.

I'll prob make Henry pink heart shaped pancakes for breakfast.

Day of: crockpot cheese fondue, followed by crockpot chocolate fondue. DW hopefully will bring me flowers.

Saturday the 16th, a lunch date to Rick Bayless' fast casual place and a trip to the Chicago History Museum.

I saw this idea somewhere online... Sitters are expensive and need to be able to watch/entertain/discipline three kids. A friend can sit at the house after the kids are asleep.

A friend of mine is coming over Friday night at 8:15, after the kids are in bed. L and I can go get dessert or a glass of wine kid free! And I don't feel like its too big a favor.

I will tell her on v day that we are going out fri night and she will be so surprised!

Granted the restaurants will be full of hip youngsters eating v day dinner, but I won't have to tell anyone to sit down or use a fork .

We're not doing anything special on Thursday, Jen has an interview on Friday so she wants to eat something light and take it easy. Instead we're getting pizza from our favorite pizza place on Friday. I'm picking up a card and a small gift for her today, and will make Valentines from the babies for her. (She LOVES it when the babies give people gifts/cards. It amuses her very much for some reason

[tattooedmeegs]

We actually went to the movies this past weekend, so Happy Early Valentines Day to us! :-)
I'm getting take out Thai delivered to work on Thursday, and bringing it home for our dinner.

As for gifts, I believe I'm getting a 10-class yoga card. I got Trav a coupon book (from datevitation.com/ love the options/suggestions they have) for things like a cell-phone free night, breakfast in bed, etc.

I'm working at the yoga studio and K has a follow up/ getting results from her biopsy. What can I say, we ooze romance. we've made it a point, to never celebrate valentines day. We've never needed to be told to appreciate each other, we were so good about doing it ourselves but now that we have N, and much less time to focus on us, we talked about starting to celebrate. Clearly we haven't gotten too far this year..

[mk]

No plans. I'm off Thursday, but Katie works. We normally do cards and candy.

Yeah, what she said!

[seattlekari]

Since A is in Portland I'm guessing FaceTime will be the closest we'll have to any sort of "date". I am sending roses to her hotel and hoping that is a big surprise. I am planning on calling the front desk staff Thursday morning and hoping they will take pity and not deliver the flowers during the day while she's sleeping. Girl is having a hard enough time trying to sleep as it is!

[never2amazing]

I think we will do take out from a good restaurant...maybe pickup food from Olive Garden on the way home. Maybe C and I can give the Kiddos tiny-cheesy valentine's cards

Owl and I have therapy Thursday morning, then we meet with the pedi which means we will be out of the house all morning while J is home, J works at either 11 or 2. J and I agreed not to celebrate a long time ago but we always end up getting each other a card.

The big girls have been decorating boxes stuffed with handmade Valentine's for J.

I'm planning to make breakfast for dinner for the kids; pink heart-ish shaped pancakes, heart shaped bacon, pink scrambled eggs, sliced strawberries.

L and I haven't done V-Day in a years. We are going to do to dinner at our favorite Mexican place with the kids (won't be too crowded), and I am going to make the kids heart cutouts with all of the reasons we love them and give them Just Dance 4 for the Wii (to keep their heart healthy - heart...Valentines...that is the tie in.)
